This book was a long time coming, and it was definitely worth the wait. The work of Kahneman and Tversky sits just under the surface of all my favorite Michael Lewis books. Moneyball in particular left me wondering about the systematic biases in human thought, and soon enough I ended up in front of a copy of “Thinking Fast and Slow.” I was floored by what I read. I had always considered psychology a “soft science,” incapable of making real predictions about reality. The catalog of biases that K&T described cut right through my disbelief as I fell for each of their cleverly constructed cognitive illusions. Michael Lewis puts the story of these scientists into a package that is informative and engrossing, I would highly recommend it to anyone
